Not everything that can be counted counts and not all things that are countable can be counted.
What it means is that we need to keep first things first, important things important, we need to give our space only those things that matter.
Many times we get side tracked by doing things that are not actually important or urgent to us. We get distracted by so many meaningless things in our daily lives and fall prey to them. We give in to our temptations and submit to instant pleasures instead of choosing things that have a long lasting positive impact. Few examples are like scrolling social media, binge watching videos, trolling, video gaming etc,. We keep running through the day working on other’s programming and intelligent algorithms.
We resort to blaming and complaining the situations around us. We claim that we do not have time to meet our physical/mental needs and take self-care. What we need to understand is that we are not prioritising the tasks that are important to us and we simply balme the lack of time.
We lose sight of the primary objective squandering around doing those unimportant secondary and tertiary things. We stick to our familiar patterns which are kind of addictive as they give an instant kick. By doing this we get a false sense of busyness. We keep procrastinating by justifying our self-limiting beliefs and lame reasons. When we continue in this manner, first we lose few minutes, then few hours, then few days and then years. When we look back at ourselves after few years, we are where we are and stuck in life.
CHOOSE TO DO THE RIGHT THINGS. PRIORITIZE THE IMPORTANT ACTIVITIES THAT MATTER TO YOU. WORK ON YOURSELF FIRST. PRIORITIZE YOUR WELLBEING, FITNESS, MENTAL HEALTH, PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS, YOUR PASSION.
